Compensation for a dog bite or dog attack in Michigan is dependent on a number of factors. There is no magic formula or dog bite settlement calculator that insurance companies and attorneys use to determine the compensation amount. Settlement amounts are often based upon similar cases and the results achieved by the attorney for the dog bite victim in other cases.

Factors that help determine the compensation for a dog bite claim include:

The facts surrounding the dog bite attack

The location where dog bite attack occurred

If there was any provocation for the dog attack

If the dog owner has insurance coverage for the attack

The amount of the insurance policy limits if there was coverage

The type and location of the injuries (arms, face, legs)

The type of medical treatment needed to date

The type of medical treatment needed in the future

If the scars and disfigurements are permanent in nature

The age and sex of the victim

The amount of medical bills related to the dog bite attack

The amount of lost wages resulting from the attack

Dog bite settlements include compensation for pain and suffering, scars and disfigurement, psychological damages, medical expenses and lost wages.
